“…a fascinating account of the significant contributions
of the 46th/72nd Reconnaissance Squadron
during those critical early days of the Cold War.”
- General Colin Powell
Former Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff

World in Peril
contains the story of the 46th/72nd Reconnaissance Squadron and
“Project Nanook”, as told by the unit’s commander, Major Maynard E.
White, to the author — his son– Ken White. Using recently
declassified records as well as personal reminiscences, the book
chronicles the historical exploits of the little-known but
well-accomplished unit that developed the grid system of navigation
which opened up the arctic skies to world aviation– an achievement
cited as one of the ten greatest accomplishments of the United States
within the last fifty years– and explores the scientific contributions
made by the squadron, which provide the reader with a glimpse of future
geological events that will reshape our planet and have a profound
effect on our global society.
